The BDE is incorrectly configured on the workstations. Somewhere at the
Borland web site there is a document that describes how this should be done.
(IIRC you need to set the NetFileDir property to point to the same place
(textually & actually) on each station.) Also I've found on Win98 stations
that the registry key HKLM System CurrentControlSet Services VxD VREDIR
DiscardCacheOnOpen has to be set to 1 and Opportunistic locking turned off
on the server.
